The 8 Coolest Brands for After-Party Bridal Dresses

So your wedding day is coming up, or you're just one of those people who love looking at wedding dresses for fun in your spare time (me), but either way, there is something we need to discuss—after-party bridal dresses. Brides all around the world have been opting to take off their showstopping wedding gown for the reception and change into something a bit more festive. This second wedding dress allows for more dancing, more comfort, and I think it's safe to say a lot more fun.
If my quick description enticed you at all to consider a separate dress for your wedding after-party, I have eight brands that you need to see ASAP. Some of these brands are true experts in the bridal realm, including Danielle Frankel and Markarian, while others, like Attico and Area are straight-up party brands. Both sound like good options if you ask me. Ahead, check out the eight brands every bride should consider when shopping for an after-party bridal dress.
